Spine MRI Identifies Clinically Relevant Findings in Patients with Cancer Presenting with Back Pain.
This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. ⋯ Our findings suggest imaging the total spine in cancer patients with back pain given higher odds of identifying malignant pathology and instances of capturing otherwise not visualized disease. Further work is warranted to confirm these findings.

Retrospective diagnostic study. ⋯ Level III.

Retrospective review of prospectively collected data. ⋯ Shorter OR time for ASD correction is associated with a lower minor complication rate, a lower estimated blood loss, fewer intensive care unit admissions, and a shorter hospital length of stay without sacrificing alignment correction or PROMs. Maximizing operative efficiency by minimizing OR time in ASD surgery has the potential to benefit patients, surgeons, and hospital systems.
